Absolutely true and so well put!! It would be funny if it weren't a legitimate danger to a lot of people. When I was in high school 15 years ago, kids were prescribed anti-depressants, anti-anxiety meds, and birth control like candy. The last one pissed me off because I really had gut issues as you did, which impacted my skin, and yet every dermatologist only wanted to recommended birth control which would "probably help my skin" as a side effect. Great observations - the positive as well. I noticed similar points when I came home from Germany after 3 years :)
